[RFC] ethdev: complete closing to free all resources

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

After closing a port, it cannot be restarted.
So there is no reason to not free all associated resources.

The last step was done with rte_eth_dev_detach() which is deprecated.
Instead of removing the associated rte_device, the driver should check
if no more port (ethdev, cryptodev, etc) is still open for the device.
Then the device resources can be freed by the driver inside the
dev_close() driver callback operation.

The last ethdev freeing (dev_private and final release), which were done
by rte_eth_dev_detach(), are now done at the end of rte_eth_dev_close().

This patch contains only the change in the close function as RFC.

This idea was presented at Dublin during the "hotplug talk".
